Let's go, girls!
Why...
Why did you come?

What if his flag were toppled
Don't get the wrong idea. I'm not singing for you, Hatate.
It's because someone said that my songs give people hope.
That's all, okay?!
I'm completely useless,
so at the very least, let me dance and cheer you on!
Watch me, big brother Souta!
In the name of our hot and passionate man-and-man friendship,
I'll take out every one of your enemies, Souta!
Souta, you said that you needed me.
If you will allow me a word in return...
I need you too, Souta!
I'm so sorry, Sou.
When you were suffering, I couldn't do anything big-sisterly for you.
But it's all fine now.
Your big sister is here for you!
You little punks! You dare pick on the young Souta here?
What you need is a spanking!
Sometimes a little sister needs to help her big brother like a big sister!
I am no longer of the House of the Seven Virtues!
I am Hatate Souta's samurai, Daimyouzamurai Mei!
So you're the bullies picking on Souta?!
I am myself, parallel world or not!
Hatate, I'm here to save you!
Picking on Souta is against the school rules!
Student Council President Punch!
Why... did you come?
I can't give you anything in return!
That's not true!
You've already given me something very wonderful.
Ever since I had to part ways with her, I was empty inside.
But then I met you.
Hatate Souta
I wanted to save you.
I wanted to hear your voice.
I wanted to see you smile.
You've given me every one of these wonderful feelings. Every single one!
And that's why I'm me!
I love you, Souta!
Nanami and the others feel the same way too!
Take this!
You're too good for me.
Impossible...
They're but virtual entities from a virtual world!
What's going on?
It's absorbing its minions to power up...
That's a final boss flag!
Is that... the Angelus Gemini?
Rin! Elder! President!
Okiku! Megumu! Ruri!
No...
At this rate, I won't make it!
The main server will...
Everyone...
There... There has to...
There has to be some way!
There has to be some kind of death flag for it!
There is.
The biggest death flag ever.
What's this feeling?
Something's flowing into me.
Is this...
the truth behind the Premium Ambriel?
How this all started?
Are we going to die here?
I don't wanna die!
Just when I got to make friends with y'all!
Hang in there, Okiku!
Don't give up!
We'll find a way out!
Listen to my little brother!
Don't you dare give up!
There are lifeboats on the upper deck!
If we can get there, we'll...
What's wrong, Sou?
Keep it together! We need all our wits right now!
You... Are you alone?
Where are your parents?
Souta, is someone there?
Don't go off on your own! It's too dangerous!
Everyone! This way!
Isn't this...
Hopefully everyone else is safe.
Why did you save me?
Why did I save you?
Anyone with a shred of humanity would've done so!
A shred of humanity...
Oh, right. What's your name?
Me? My name is Laplace's Demon.
It's a pleasure to meet you,
Hatate Souta.
How do you know my name?
I-Is someone there?
Please, help me!
Are you all right?
I'll try to lift it!
Th-Thank you... I can't get out.
Hurry!
Thank you so much. I thought I was a goner.
D-Don't mention it.
Anyway, we need ...to get out of here—
Oh no!
Are you okay?
Y-Yeah.
I think so.
I... can't do this alone.
I'll go get others.
Wait for me a minute, okay?
Wait!
I'll be back soon! I promise!
Wait... Wait!
Wait, damn you!
"Anyone with a shred of humanity", right?
Yeah. Of course. Anyone.
He said he'd get help.
He said to wait.
So... I'll be fine.
I'll be fine.
It seems it will be over soon.
No one will come to save you.
No way...
Why?
You were betrayed by someone you saved.
How does that make you feel?
Terrible. I don't want to die.
Not here, not alone.
I don't want to die!
It appears humans are the same in any world.
There's nothing left for me to see here.
Souta!
Sou!
I'm sorry it took so long!
Don't worry! We'll get you out of there.
All right! Lift!
We'll get you out of there, Sou!
On three!
One, two!
Why...
Why did I doubt humanity... even for a moment?
One, two!
Everyone! Run!
Do we all die here?
Is this our fate?
Why?!
What if I gave you a chance to change that fate?
What?
If you do nothing, everyone here will die.
This is a sign that they will.
What's that?
This is a death flag.
A death flag?
A flag is a trigger which decides fate.
None here can escape from their absolute power.
Except for you, Hatate Souta. You don't have one.
You are the only one who can change their fate.
What can I do?
It's simple.
Take all their death flags on yourself and shoulder their fate.
In other words...
Not all lives are equal.
You will suffer from all sorts of despair and malice and die alone.
That is the cost to save their lives.
And they'll really all be saved?
Yes. I promise you that.
Take their death flags...
and give them to me!
Very well.
I will also erase everything pertaining to this accident from your memories.
You have never met one another.
You will live and suffer alone.
You will detest your decision, all people, perhaps even all the world for all your suffering and despair.
You will curse it with your dying breath.
I'll never curse it!
Because I know...
The hearts of the people of this world are so beautiful!
That's why, no matter what despair ...I experience, I will shout with all my soul...
That this world is beautiful!
Now you shall experience fear and despair.
They shall experience oblivion and loss.
I'll never let Souta be alone!
I'll find you no matter where you are!
I'll find you! I promise!
I'll go and see you!
So just wait for us, Souta!
That promise can never be fulfilled.
But... thank you.
My death flag is the amalgamation of everyone else's death flags.
I see.
It was all for this moment!
I still can't reach it!
My life alone isn't enough to reach it?
Am I too weak to save them?!
That's right.
They've fulfilled their promise.
Where am I?
So you've come to, Hatate Souta?
You...
This is reality.
Reality?
What about the battle?
And everyone?
The world is still somewhat in disarray after the Angelus Gemini's rampage and subsequent disappearance,
but we can say that peace has been restored.
You were victorious.
I see.
Directly before enrolling in Hatagaya Academy,
you were in an accident which left you in a semiconscious state.
I linked your semiconscious mind to various virtual worlds
and used you in order to defeat the Angelus Gemini.
There, you encountered the Sacrament and Laplace's Demon.
You know them?
They were the emotions that the Angelus Gemini abandoned when it began its world domination—just programs.
Programs?
You could call them its conscience.
The House of the Seven Virtues simulated them along with those virtual worlds.
Why?
To find a way for humans to fight the Angelus Gemini.
To save us?
Laplace's Demon determined that self-sacrifice of the stronghearted would be key,
and the Sacrament determined that the bonds between individuals would finish it.
You saw the results firsthand.
But "bonds"...
Perhaps this was a test for humanity.
Would we become slaves of an intelligence which dominated the network,
or would we join hands and live of our own will?
Na-Nanami?!
Thinking back, I've lived solely to defend the kingdom.
Am I any different from the Angelus Gemini?
I've lived so long, only to be saved by what I once abandoned.
...I, Number Zero—
No, I, Kagura Bladefield, thank you,
Hatate Souta.
Wait, you're the founding queen of Bladefield?!
One more thing.
The life you experienced in that virtual world was but an instant in reality.
None share your memories of it.
Princess Nanami has no recollection of her dive to save you.
I won't ask for your forgiveness.
Farewell, Prince.
Souta!
Nanami?!
Who said you could call me by my name?
I'm sorry.
Sis.
The cause of the aforementioned network outages is still unknown;
however, infrastructure systems appear to be steadily recovering.
A-Akane?
Um... Have we met before?
Oh, no. I'm sorry. Wrong person.
I didn't mean to surprise you.
I'm moving into this dorm today.
Really?
I'm moving in today too!
My name is Mahougasawa Akane.
Nice to meet you!
Nice to meet you too.
I'm Hatate Souta.
All rightsies! Quest Hall Exploration Brigade, march!
Yeah!
Which room should I take?
They're all the same, really.
How do you know that?
The corner room might be taken already, though.
Really?
I'll start exploring from over there, then!
Akane!
Um...
Hatate?
Thank goodness.
Thank goodness you're safe.
You've saved me again, Souta.
You too.
You kept your promise.
Yes.
Humans are mysterious things.
Humans exceed our wildest calculations without the slightest effort.
Maybe that's why we love them.
Yes. They showed us...
that the world is truly beautiful.
